from Stephen Hawking

"The cosmos has taken its first step towards the beautiful place it is today, all thanks to imperfection and lack of order. So next time someone tells you that you have made a mistake, tell them that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist." -- Stephen Hawking

Ms. Moon, Rodney and I have long been fans of Dr. Hawking (and Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who recently made an appearance on our side of the state). His new series on the Discovery channel has helped me rediscover him, and this quotation is something I heard there.Michelle, it seems like one of those very simple things we should all know.Both of you: thank you for making time to comment on something I thought might pass unnoticed. Love, love.
